What exactly were the commands and which driver did you tried installing.
Have you ever tried installing a wifi by this way previously.
You need to have kernel sources also in path (if I am not mistaken)
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
and then download the driver of yours in /usr/src
and then compile from there.
Did you tried like this or some thing else?
